Game PlayIn the small, friendly music community of Bonnaroo, a crafty Mafia have infiltrated the population.

Every day, the population (all live players) gather to discuss whom they think is a member of the Mafia. There is a vote, and the one with the majority is executed. The Townspeople must do this in order to clean Bonnaroo of the Mafia and restore its peaceful vibe.

Every night the Mafiosi decide amongst themselves who to ruthlessly assassinate. At the beginning of each morning, people learn that one of their own has been killed.

Through disrupting the votes and performing their assassinations, the Mafia will try to eliminate Townspeople to the point that they are in the majority and they will rule Bonnaroo forever.

Thus, the Townspeople's great hope is the Inspector. This is a secret figure, known only to him or herself, that has inside information on the identity of the Mafiosi. S/he can covertly use this information to influence the votes towards the Mafiosi. But s/he better watch his/her step, because if the Mafia gets wind it will be lights out.

Good luck.

Rules1) The Referee randomly chooses from the 11 players three Mafiosi and one Inspector. All the rest are Townspeople. Each player is informed of their role via PM, and are not allowed to share that information with one another except in the official Mafia game thread. The Mafia are informed of one another's identity, and they are allowed to converse among themselves via PM. To put it plainly:a) If you are not a member of the mafia, do not discuss the mafia game outside the mafia thread with any other player or with any non-player who might discuss the game with a player.b) If you are a member of the mafia, you may discuss the game freely among your fellow mafia only. Do not discuss the game outside of this thread with any non-mafia player.

2) The Inspector is informed of his/her part, and also of the identity of one randomly chosen Mafia player. The inspector may at any time reveal their identity to the players within the thread. (see game play warnings above).

3) Each day a vote is held for the player to be eliminated. For online play, deliberation and voting is combined; thus, you can vote and explain yourself in the same post. Every player is free to change their vote at any point up until the last vote is in and the Ref declares that voting is closed. The Referee will then post the final tally, and announce which player is eliminated and how they died. Then will begin the Night portion of the round.

4) During the Night, the Mafia decide on the player they want to eliminate (assassinate), and inform the Referee via PM. Once the Referee receives this info, it is posted here in the thread, the player is eliminated, and the following Day begins.

5) Likewise during the night the Inspector will PM the Referee and guess one player's Mafia status. The Referee will respond with a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

6) Play continues until all the Mafia have been killed (Townspeople win), or the Mafia out number the Townspeople (Mafia win).

7) Player roles will not be revealed until the game has concluded.

8) AKA The Bek Rule: Players who have been eliminated are still welcome to post in this thread, but are asked to not say anything leading to any knowledge, suspicions or opinions you might have.This includes use of the Like/Dislike feature.

9) The ref will do the death stories/videos.

10) AKA The kdogg Rule: There will be no sharing of role PMs inside the thread or outside for the purpose of disclosing your role to another player. This also goes for password sharing. Common sense should be used, no discussion of your roles, except between Mafia, outside the thread - EVER.

11) Voting will be open for 36 hours each round, or until everyone has cast their vote - whichever comes first. Voting will never follow the 36-hour rule on the weekends. The Referee will only ever close voting on a Saturday or Sunday if all players have already cast their vote. If a player has not voted by that time, their vote will not be counted. If a player misses two votes, they are out of the game regardless of how good your reason is. When it is decided that a player is out, they will be killed off during the day alongside whoever would have been killed by vote.a) If the Inspector has not made a guess within 36 hours during a Night round, the Inspector will forfeit that guess.b) If the Mafia have not reported a whack victim within 36 hours during a Night round, the Mafia will forfeit that whack and the Townspeople will receive another round of voting during that Night round to offset the missed whack.

12) The Referee shall neither answer an Inspector's inquiry nor execute a Mafia's chosen victim until after having received both the Inspector's inquiry and the Mafia's chosen victim. If the Inspector is the victim, the Inspector is not owed an answer from the Referee. The Referee shall only accept victim names from living Mafia players.

13) AKA The Bacon Rule: The bigger the whiner, the smaller the wiener.

Phi, did you intend to delete that post? Curious what was up with that

I also checking on my phone on the way home from dinner and I saw someone had a placeholder post below Kiko, and now it is gone. Is that what you are referring to Mike, or were there other shenanigans too?

Post by Mike D on Aug 13, 2012 21:32:51 GMT -5

No, that's exactly what I am referring to - Phi deleted his post, Kiko did or didn't see it, it puts a very early stack on someone who get's thrown in to just about every first round runoff, was that on purpose or not? I didn't notice if LD had already posted or not, but that move seems shady-er than the corn I gots.

Post by superfurryanimal on Aug 13, 2012 21:42:54 GMT -5

I do agree it's shady but why would you wright placeholder and then erase it? I thought he was joking because he posted like right after kiko? I guess what I'm saying is I don't think the two of them would plan that togeather, so which person does it make look more shady?

Post by kikosanchez on Aug 13, 2012 22:23:07 GMT -5

I saw that too. He just had a post that said "placeholder". I didn't respond, because I figured he would just delete it and the next poster would then get my vote. It doesn't say he edited his post, so apparently he completely deleted the post and made a new post. Idk if it holds any water as to shadiness or he was just messing with me.

Either way, by reposting, he knew I would still vote for him and still he asked who wanted to be VPs. THEN, notice, SFA voted for him. If SFA read my post and LD's subsequent post, he should've known I was already going to vote for LD. Either people aren't reading each post, quacking around, something is up, or they don't care about votes being stacked early. Of course I am fine with changing my vote because I don't actually have any logical reason for voting he who posted below me, though surely SFA knew a stack would occur.

First off, I am getting a little confused who all you are talking about with the "he's" as opposed to names, but I am pretty sure I got it. Anyway, the way I see it, you shouldn't be saying that it is obvious that SFA knew a stack was going to occur. You said you were going to vote for whoever voted below you, you admitted it was Phi, LD posted AFTER Phi looking for a VP, SFA responds and it's SFA's fault for the stack? Is this what you are saying?

Sorry, I got confused myself thinking it was the same person that posted, deleted, then re-posted, when actually it was Phi that posted and deleted, then LD posted (or I'm assuming LD posted below Phi, then Phi deleted his post, as I was expecting the "Placeholder" was for, thus making LD who I would vote for...actually I think Phi was trying to get me to post a response, then delete it and have me vote for myself ). Honestly I don't know the exact chronology of events per SFA voting for LD. He may have done that before Phi deleted his post. This would make everything seem pretty straightforward.

Again, sorry for my confusing post before. It was late and somehow I merged Phi and LD into being one superposter.

I'm almost positive Phi's post was still up when I posted. I got distracted before responding, so he could have deleted in that time frame (10 minutes at the most). I honestly don't think it matters either way because I saw it as joking around and it really had no bearing on my vote. Just wanted to get the ball rolling and get a voting partner.

Speaking of which, why is everyone so flipping quite?
